2 This superb part of Nepal, close to the Tibetan border has recently been opened up to western trekkers. It is currently still relatively undiscovered, and can only be explored by self-contained camping groups. A world away from the popular Annapurna Circuit, we will still be a curiosity to the locals. This is snow leopard country; we might just be lucky enough to see one of these magnificent creatures. As a diversion off the eastern side of the Annapurna Circuit, we are convinced that it won t be long before the Naar Phu trek becomes a popular alternative to the main Circuit, which, as you may know, is now being affected by road building. The time to explore this area is now, before it becomes too popular. We walk up from trailhead to Koto near Chame, and from there we trek up to the Tibetanstyle villages of Phu and Naar, before crossing the Kang La 5306m, and returning to the incredibly scenic village of Ngawal on the high trail above the airstrip of Humde, with its stunning views of Lanjung, Annapurnas II, III and IV, Gangapurna and its glacial lakes. From there we walk to the larger community of Manang. It can t be many more years before this one-horse town is spoilt by the presence of motorised vehicles, so come and enjoy this fascinating area before the road building progresses too far. From Manang we make our way up to the Thorung La (5416m). The Thorung La is the main pass of the Annapurna Circuit, and isn t as steep as the Kang La. By this time we will be well acclimatised but the altitude will still make it a challenge. From the Thorung La we drop down to Muktinath, a holy temple area which has been a pilgrimage destination for Hindus and Buddhists for hundreds of years, and we will still see them journeying to this holy site today.
3 The descent from Muktinath to the Kali Gandaki valley floor is one of the most delightful days of trekking imaginable. The semi-desert scenery is vast, with Nilgiri (7061m) and Dhampus Peak (6012m) adding to the grandeur of the vista. We will make a final detour to the enchanting mud-bricked village of Kagbeni which stands at the entrance of the restricted area of Upper Mustang. This village is often missed out of itineraries, but the views from the roof of the gompa of the wind-eroded river valley of the Kali Gandaki and of Upper Mustang are not to be missed. There are still animist symbols around this village which pre-date the arrival of Buddhism to the area. Equally absorbing is allowing yourself the time to wander in the maze of narrow back streets of this old walled town, playing with the children, photographing the miniature cattle and watching the villagers go about their everyday life. We walk down the Kali Gandaki Valley to Jomson, from where we will fly back to Pokhara on one of the most exciting mountain flights in the world, flying between Nilgiri, Annapurna and Dhaulgiri. Naar Phu is quite simply the best trek I have ever led. The Annapurna Circuit has long been one of my very favourite treks for its incredible diversity of climatic zones, flora and fauna. It is a trek that I ve chosen to lead several times. The Naar Phu trek is a loop off the Annapurna Circuit. As soon as I heard about the Naar Phu area being opened to trekkers I knew that I would simply had to explore this area, and I wasn t disappointed. Naar Phu exceeded my expectations. This trek is especially popular with the connoisseur trekker perhaps you have trekked before, but are now looking for something a little different off the normal trail and prepared to explore a little. We have programmed in enough time and several short trekking days so that we can take our time not only to enjoy the incredible views that this trek offers, but to spend time with the villagers and to absorb local life and culture.

Ann above Manang, Gangapurna in the background Land-only prices: The cost of flights, in particular those to Nepal, are less predictable than they used to be. Airlines now request full payment upfront. As a result, we will quote you a land-only cost, and quote separately for the cheapest flights we can find at the time of your booking. We will, however, require full payment for the flights prior to booking them. If you prefer to search for alternative flights yourself, we can sell you the trek at the land-only price.
4 Deserted settlement at Chyako. OUTLINE ITINERARY Walking and journey times are approximate Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Arrive Kathmandu: transfer to hotel. Rest of the day free. Drive to trail head near Ngadi 6 8 hours drive, 1 hour walking An early start from Kathmandu is recommended to get out of the city before the traffic builds up too much. From the town of Besisahar, which is the capital of the Lamjung District, we drive part way up the new jeep track which is being built alongside the mighty Marsyangdi River. In 2009 we were able to drive to Bhule Bhule on rough dirt track. We will walk for an hour or so to our first campsite at Ngadi. The timings for today will depend on the status of the road that is being built. Trek to Jagat 1300m 6-7 hours walking The trail continues northwards following the Marsyangdi River valley, crossing several suspension bridges and passing beautiful waterfalls and a bathing pool, whilst above us tower the peaks of Lamjung, Manaslu and Day 4 Peak 29. We pass through the hilltop village Bahundanda 1310m which supports a few shops and tea houses, and a chance for a welcome break after the long uphill trek before continuing we drop back down to the river, which we follow to our campsite at Jagat 1300m. Trek to Tal 1700m 5 hours walking We begin our day by trekking through rhododendron and pine forest. Tal means lake and the wide valley was indeed once a lake. The culture here is more Tibetan, with houses made from rock, and the vegetation becomes less tropical. Just north of the village is a spectacular waterfall.
5 Day 8 Kayang acclimatisation day We have an acclimatisation day at Kayang, and a local walk to gain height during the day is recommended, returning to spend a second night at the same altitude. This is a very important aspect of our trek and will undoubtedly assist with the success, as well as with our enjoyment of it. Kayang is an interesting deserted village, and we can spend time photographing and exploring it as we rest. Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Trek to Koto 2600m 6 hours walking After leaving Tal we cross a large bridge and after around 3½hours we arrive at the village of Dharapani 1860m. Our climb continues for another hour through forests to the delightful village of Bagarchap, which is surrounded by peach and apple trees with small streams meandering through it. The forests here are of broad-leaved trees. The Tibetan flavour in the village architecture and layout is prevalent here. The Bhotia people were Himlayan traders, and their houses have flat roofs as the annual rainfall is less here. We go on to Koto, where we need to show our permits for trekking in the Naar Phu region. Trek to Dharmashala 3230m 8-9 hours walking Today we begin our trek into the area less well trod. The difference as soon as we step off the main Annapurna Circuit path is staggering we have stepped into another place. It is a long day due to the absence of the camping places that are marked on the map! The walking is initially easy along along the river bank, but becomes quite undulating and tiring because of its length. Just before Dharamshala we will cross a big waterfall. Trek to Kayang 3820m 8 hours walking Around 8 hours moderate walk in total. The route starts quite easily, then before ascending to Methang. We then drop down to the split in the path to Naar and Phu. We then have around 5 hours of moderate walking. There will be time to explore the fascinating deserted settlements at Chyako. Day 9 Kayang campsite in sight Trek to Phu 4200m 5 hours walking An exciting day as we reach the first of our 2 main villages on this little-trodden route. Around 5 hours of moderate walking, but the path is exposed and care will be needed, especially when we first set off from Kayang. The path is reasonably broad, but there is a big drop. A head for heights and trekking poles may be required. Near to Phu there is a steep ascent up a dry gorge before we reach Phu Gate, an hour before Phu itself. Day 10 Rest & exploration day at Phu 4200m Today we take a well-earned chance to rest and to explore this little-visited community. An extra night here will help us with our acclimatisation for the Kang La. Day 11 Trek to Junam Goth 3720m 6 hours walking Our return path retracing our steps downhill should take around 6 hours. Junam Goth is a lovely campsite surrounded by low bushes, though it can mean a bit of a climb uphill for our crew with their water carriers. Day 12 Trek to Naar 4110m 5 hours walking Today we head for lunch in the settlement of Yughat before continuing onto Naar. The path is initially steep up to the Naar Gateways
6 which are a long way from Naar itself. The path then flattens out through a delightful open valley through yak fields. Day 13 Naar exploration and acclimatisation day We spend another important day acclimatising in preparation of our ascent over the Kang La. Naar is another fascinating village to explore, and very different in many ways from Phu. Day 14 Trek to Kang La Phedi 4530m 2½ hours walking + acclimatisation walk From Naar we can see our destination for tonight s camp at the foot of the Kang La. A steady ascent of 420m brings us to our campsite, and we can have lunch here before doing an acclimatization walk the first section of tomorrow s ascent of the Kang La. This will help us for our ascent tomorrow, and we return to camp for dinner. Day 15 Trek to Ngawal 3660m via Kang La 5306m The first big day this can take anything from 5½ 8 hours depending on the snow conditions and the speed of the group. Initially climbing gradually but not too steeply, the altitude will be noticeable by most people. After crossing the Kang La, the descent is long and steep, initially very steep and depending on the snow conditions we may put a fixed line in place to offer a little more security. Trekking poles are advisable. This day could be longer if we are unlucky with the weather. Depending on the weather and our progress, we might start in the dark to ensure that we are not too late into camp. Day 16 Trek to Manang 3540m A delightful and easy day of walking after the rigours of yesterday, and a likely candidate for many photographs. Manang is visible for quite some time before we finally get to it, so, depending on the speed of the group we will either have lunch in Manang or in one of the villages on the approach to it. Day 17 Rest day at Manang A day for rest and a chance to explore Manang, a village of about 550 flat roofed houses which is picturesquely set amongst spectacular scenery; Annapurna II 7937m, Annapurna III 7555m, Gangapurna 7455m to the south; Tilicho 7134m and the grand barrier to the west; Chulu West 6419m and Chulu East 6584m to the north and the glacial lake below. You could perhaps use today to revisit Braga Monastery, either early morning or late afternoon and visit the very atmospheric main temple. At these times, when the monks are worshipping, the building is filled with the fragrance of burning juniper. As an alternative there is a walk across the river from Manang around the lake below the Gangapurna glacier. Day 18 Trek to Yak Kharka 4018m 4 hours walking An easy day, but the fantastic views from the tea houses at Ghunsang can make it very tempting to take a little longer! Blue sheep (bharal) are sometimes seen in this area. Day 19 Trek to Thorung Phedi 4450m 3½ hours walking An easy ascent to Thorung Phedi where we stop to prepare for our ascent the next day of the Thorung La. Those bursting with energy can go up to a viewpoint above the lodges at Thorung Phedi, though we should already be well acclimatized. Day 20 Trek to Muktinath 3700m via Thorung La 5416m 8 hours walking Though the crossing of the pass is not technically difficult, we take it slowly to avoid the complications of altitude and to cope with possible snow conditions. After approximately 4 hours we reach the top of Thorung La, one of the world s highest passes, catching our breath and enjoying some absolutely stunning high Himalaya scenery: the entire Annapurna ranges in the south; the Mukut and Mustang Himal to the west and the incredibly deep Kali Gandaki Valley; and the peaks of Thorungste 6482m and Chulu to the north. During our steep descent to Muktinath we can enjoy the excellent views of Dhaulagiri the world s 7th highest peak 8167m. Thorung La summit prayer flags Day 21 Trek to Kagbeni 2800m 3 hours walking There will be time to explore the temple area of Muktinath before we set off down towards Kagbeni. Today is an absolutely delightful and easy day. Kagbeni is a delightful town well worth exploring, and the view from the roof of the gompa into Upper Mustang is not to be missed. Day 22 Trek to Jomson 2710m 2½ hours walking An easy walk on the flat floor of the Kali Kandaki valley. This valley can often be very windy, so the journey is best done in the morning before the wind picks up. Buffs and wrap-around sunglasses can be a good idea to protect you from the wind. Jomson is a busier place than we will have seen for some time, with its mountain airstrip and road traffic.
7 flight or the journey to Lukla. Our flight patch follows the Kali Gandaki as it squeezes between the 8000m peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulgiri. We return to a lovely hotel in Pokhara s popular Lakeside area, and enjoy a well-earned shower and no doubt a celebratory drink. Ann Foulkes with the children of Kagbeni Day 23 Fly to Pokhara Today we take the short mountain flight back to Pokhara from Jomson. These flights usually leave in the morning before the winds and clouds build up. This has to be one of the most spectacular mountain flights in the world, and arguably much better than the Everest View Day 24 Pokhara Today is a day to enjoy our achievements, and to relax in the delightful town of Pokhara. Take a boat out onto the lake to see the views of Machhapuchhare (Fish Tail mountain) towering above Pokhara reflected in the lake, relax in one of the many restful lakeside bars, shop for souvenirs in Lakeside s relaxed main street, or just enjoy the hotel swimming pool.. Day 25 Fly to Kathmandu Saying goodbye to the Annapurnas, we take the 25 minute flight back to Kathmandu and return to our group hotel. Day 26 Depart Nepal: transfer to Kathmandu airport. Important Note: Whilst we expect that the trek will run as per the itinerary, participants should accept that there is a possibility of changes being necessary subject to local conditions.
